SPAR St Albans

Do not use Click & Collect and any other parcel collection services at this shop. I had asked for a package to be delivered to this shop for Click and Collect (couriered by DPD). I receive an email the following day informing me that my package has already been returned to the seller, before I had the chance to collect the package. I called the SPAR and I am informed that the shop is engaged in some sort of a disagreement with DPD, and that the SPAR is refusing to accept certain packages when they are delivered there by DPD. My experience over the phone with the staff at this shop was also not particularly positive. There was an unwillingness to take responsibility for the fact that I had lost both time and money due to the refusal to accept the delivery. I see that other people have left reviews with a similar problem. If only I had seen these beforehand! The SPAR should not be offering this service if they are unable to meet the requirements of this scheme.

Shocking prices and if something does look like a bargain, you wait until you see what you're charged for it. There's often a disconnect. Parking in the disabled spaces or loading bay for the flats is popular, as anyone stupid enough to spend money here clearly doesn't care about anyone else. Always playing really terrible music too. Worst shop for miles. Awful.
